Would it not be better to set the 'image' field in the database as an Image or VarBinary(max). Then to add an image to the database you could pass in the bytes of the new image file that you want to upload.

Thats the approach I used when I wanted to store documents/images in SQL Server

[dickersonka]

It really depends on the amount of images you will expect to have in your database, security and speed needed.

Of course more image mean more space. If speed is an issue, the database isn't optimized for files, the filesystem is.

If you need the images in the database, correct, store them as images in sql, byte arrays as code, and pull them out as byte arrays.
